I was a little wary of trying them due to rumoured incompatibility with
alcohol.
Very attractive they looked too :-

I forgot to add - Morchella elata.

AFAIK it has no adverse reaction with alcohol. The only commonly eaten
mushroom (that refers to mushroom as a food rather than a recreational
activity) which is incpmpatible with alcohol that I know of is Coprinus
atramentarius (common ink cap - not the shaggy ink cap, or lawyer's
wig).

did I miss a gourmet feed then ? :-(

(it's my guess that they were a one-off phenomenon)

IMO they're highly overrated, and about as good as the stuffing you cook
in them.

That seemed to be Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's opinion too and he commented
on the large quantity of things that crawled out of all those orifices of
the ones he dried (after having previously fried some up "in the field" )

How do you subscribe to this group? I can only find alt.nature.mushrooms
which is presumably the one you say is dominated by US members/concerns.

Ooops, sorry my bad typing, as Rusty has pointed out it should be
free.uk.nature.mushrooms

If he has only just requested that it be added to your server then
you'll have to keep updating your list till it appears.
Or when R. tells you that it has been added

No, I've been collecting it for ages.

It's not on my Zetnet list.

*watch the crosspost* - it's to see if it turns up there.



It's not on my Zetnet list.

I asked Paul to carry it, then added it to active.nws - I've received
items, so I presume it is carried.

If it doesn't arrive I'll send him an emu to see if we can have it back
- I must say, on my machine it's empty ATM.

Yes, I see your post in free.uk.nature.mushrooms,
it has reached the NTL* & Freeserve(Wannado) servers and is also in
GoogleGroups (gg. used to be quite slow, up to a day behind the usenet
servers,)

*I think NTL use the same feed as Virgin,
